Just when you thought Jordan Peele couldn't squeeze one more name into his loaded cast for episodes of the new Twilight Zone series he'll debut next month, there's a twist: Seth Rogen will appear in one of the entries.

As with many of the details for the new series, we don't know which episode Rogen will appear in, the story or his character. The new show will be a blend of re-imagining and re-interpretation of Rod Serling's classic anthology series, which specialised in clever endings, fascinating stories and the ability to take a magnifying glass to human issues under the guise of science fiction and fantasy.

Peele will be the host and narrator, taking on the role iconically filled by Serling, and the cast for various episodes so far includes Adam Scott, Greg Kinnear, John Cho, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jessica Williams, Jacob Tremblay and Kumail Nanjiani.

The Twilight Zone arrives in the States via the CBS All Access service on 1 April with 2 episodes, followed by weekly releases starting 11 April. No UK broadcaster has picked it up yet, but that's surely just a matter of time.
